LABORATORY IMAGING

Syncroscopy has designed a camera that can perform high-resolution, color bright-field imaging, as well as ultralow-noise long-integration imaging for fluorescence. The syncroCool 435 has three 1360 x 1024 chips that output an image simultaneously, delivering a high-resolution live image at 7.5 fps. This makes it suitable for routine bright-field slide scanning and focusing. A cooling mechanism takes the chip camera to at least 20 °C below ambient for low-noise images. The company says it obtains bright, clean images of even the faintest fluorescent-stained samples.
